Ellen's Log Cabin with Hot tub. Located minutes from the Upper Meramec River

Ellen's log cabin is 2 and a half story's. It starts with a large covered porch that looks over the valley, a great place for your morning coffee. Walk into the living room with a cathedral ceiling and stairs that lead to the loft. The loft is where the master bedroom is located with an en suite bathroom. Back to the first floor is a full kitchen with a large walk out deck that is actually in the trees. This deck has a large table for outdoor eating and BBQ grill for grilling. The lower floor has 2 bedrooms, family room (which doubles as another private bedroom) and full bathroom. From the family room you walk out to a private lower deck with a hot tub and seating. A fire pit is in the back yard surrounded by woods, very private. Do not worry about where to buy the wood for your fire, we provide it with your cabin.

We rent Ellen's by the bedrooms needed. The rate you see here is one of our seasonal rates for a couple. Additional guest is $25. per guest per night. We offer the couple rate so, a couple can come and stay without paying for all the bedrooms.

A fantastic place to "get away from it all". "Ellen's Cabin" is bigger, prettier and cleaner than the pictures can convey. We were over the top happy with our gals getaway. I can't think of a single complaint about anything! I definitely want to come stay here again. Thank you, Cindy Gill!!

We stayed here last year and loved it so much, we talked about making it an annual trip for the families. The cabin was just as awesome this year as last! We will have to take next year off, as there will be 2 new babies 👶 in the family 💕 But we will be back the following summer, for sure!!! Thanks for a great stay!

We stayed at Ellen's cabin July of 2018 for a family reunion, we had 8 family members that stayed with us and we were all very pleased with the cabin, the pictures do it no justice it was absolutely gorgeous. Had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, showers felt wonderful, felt just like home.

Cindy the owner is great , called her twice while we were there, her response time is very quick. She is very friendly and very helpful.

Will definitely stay again.

Thank you Cindy for sharing your wonderful home with us

The property was a pleasant surprise & an excellent value. We had an amazing time in the area, and found plenty to keep our family busy and entertained. The pictures on the website were good BUT, they did not do justice to how great the house was for us. It far exceeded our expectations in terms of upkeep, size, location, etc. Loved how close we were to the river/ Cindy was great to work with!

We stayed at Ellen's Log Cabin in late April for a wedding we were attending nearby. The place is absolutely beautiful and we only wished Spring had come a little sooner this year because the trees were still barren. The view from the deck into the woods nearby is wonderful.

The cabin itself was pristine--very clean and fresh in all of the living areas. We were able to enjoy the hot tub, which was also clean and in good working order. It was chilly enough to enjoy the fireplace, and the kitchen had everything we needed.

This cabin is about a mile and a half from the Meramec River, and we took a fitness walk down to the river and back which was also full of beautiful scenery. The area has several nice wineries to visit, and the water activities available in the summer would be great fun.

If you are looking for a quiet cabin to enjoy, this is the place! It's spacious enough for a family, yet a nice place for a couple as well. Ellen's is a winner.
